I am looking to go out on HP towards the Komdraai area and back, A nice 40-60km ride and not much in traffic. You only have the HP stretch up unto N14 that is a little rough
I am looking for some people to train with in the week days in the West Rand area - Hopefully meet on Hendrik Potgieter somewhere and go out towards Komdraai/Krugersdorp/Beyers Naude and the surrounding areas. I want to be on the road from about 05h30 / 06h00 and can ride for a 1h30min Anyone keen or anyone doing this already? Pace can be medium to hard, anything to do some week day training.

Hey for odd R15 to R18k for a carbon bike, this bike suites me like a glove
Would love the Trek standing at the entrance of cycle lab but that is R40k.
Very intresting to see this, I was planning on buying one of these bikes soon..... As long as their aftersales services is good, might still consider it.
Big H, I think you hit the nail on the head - I need to go out and by a new one The problems experienced is irratiting noises, possibly the bike shop isnt doing such a good service
Thanks
I have a Shimano 105 group set and done about 8 or 9000km's with it. What life time should get out of a group set and when is a good time to replace it. It has been maintained pretty well - regularly serviced and replaced the chain and rear cassette not to long ago
Has anyone bought on the new Raleigh RC6000 or RC7000 carbon bikes and if so are you happy with it?
I am wanting to upgrade to a carbon bike and found these two to be very good value for the price.
Ons ry nie in die week nie want meeste van die mense wat saam ry moet by die werk uit kom maar ek sal krag will ry, hoe laat gaan julle uit en waar ry julle?
Ok I have a few responses from people keen to form some groups riding along Hendrik Potgieter - We usually start at the Hub/Mr Price traffic lights on HP around 05h30 and go out, if you keen to join in and see if it meets your requirments, feel free to meet us there.
thanks for the feed back, I also found riding in larger then 8 becomes an issue.
If we can get enough people together we can make smaller groups at various paces and distances.
Usually distance will be around 70km and upwards, if we can get 8 or more people together, we can try hit 100-130km's
I am trying to gather some riders together to form a group and looking for comments on how big or small I should keep the group too.
Looking ride in the West Rand, so starting on Hendrik Potgitier somewhere and out towards krugersdorp/magalies/maropeng.
Maybe someone there already has a some groups that we can join with.
Cheers
